COMEDK · Physics · 5. Laws of Motion
Action and reaction can never balance out because
- A They are equal in magnitude but not opposite always.
- B They are unequal in magnitudes
- C They are unequal in magnitudes even though opposite in direction
- D Though they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction they act on different bodies.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Though they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction they act on different bodies.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. However, the fundamental reason they do not balance each other out is that they act on two different bodies.…
